New Year Resolutions.

I seldom set any New Year resolutions because I don’t really plan for things that I have no confidence to achieve. In recent years, my only new year resolution was 2 years ago: to lose at least 5kg by joining the gym for a year, which I was managed to achieve the goal successfully.

In 2009, as usual, I don’t have any resolutions, but I have plans for a few vacations. Probably to Bangkok and Korea this year, if financially allows (hopefully). By having free accommodations from bf’s company in his business trips, hopefully I can make it to oversea again this year, since the Bali trip in 2008 New Year was my last vacation.

But 1st thing before I go anywhere, I should go renew my passport which will expire in June 2009. There goes my RM300. It's so unfair because our passport is just valid for 4.5 years only instead of 5 years as stated. :(

Happy New Year!

It's been almost half a month past New Year. I didn't have any celebration on eve(as usual as in recent years), and didn't even really realize it was the Eve on that day.

So, for those who I've forgotten to wish them on Eve, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!! May the coming year fill with more joy, wealth and happiness!!

Goodbye Beloved Grandma!

My grandma (mum's side) has just passed away on 7th Dec 2008. Died of heart attack. :(

We were never close, due to we seldom go back to visit her since young due to distance and my dad was away to outstation for work all year long. We only visited her once a year or 2 years. But we knew that she loved us very much.

Whenever we gave her pocket money whenever we met for the past few years, she will try to give us back all money as ang pao. I was just planning how to give her money this coming Chinese New Year without giving her any chance to give me back the money. But who knows.....

I thought I wouldn't cry after got to know about the bad news, but when I think of how much she loves us, and how caring she was always been to us, my tears just ran down my cheeks......

Too Busy To Blog.

Life has been so busy lately. It's been quite a while since I update my blog here.

Busy of work: My boss just got a huge but super fast tracks project lately. Need to handover by the end the year. Everyone involve in the project are so stress, especially my Service Manager and me, who particularly involve in a lot of documentation and coordination.
Besides that project, I still need to do my job for the service team, as I'm the only administrator in the team. I need to take care of other projects' documentation as well. Life is really not easy. Earning money is definitely harder. :(

Furthermore, my sister was admitted to hospital due to typhoid fever caused by contaminated food or water. Poor her. It's been a week already she's in there. Luckily the bf just graduated and can take care of her full time in the hospital now. Hopefully the doctor give her the right antibiotic today to cure her sickness. Wish she can discharge by tomorrow or latest by the day after.
She had no appetite to eat anything. Whatever she ate, she vomited all food out after an hour after eating. So I woke up early on Saturday morning and went to market to buy the stuff to cook abc soup for her, with a lot of potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes. At least she can drink the soup, and absorb more natural vitamins from the food. She was able to finish 2 bowls at least. At least she didn't vomit until now. That's a good thing at least she got food intake.

Went for blood donation on Sunday in Summit shopping mall in USJ. That is the 3rd time I donated blood, with 13.9 hemoglobin, which is very good for a lady. I always have very high hemoglobin. I still remember the doctor asked me to go donate blood after my body checkup/blood test result came out 3 years back. What a result!

Phew!! I feel so sleepy now. Think will sleep early today. Probably around 11.30pm. I know it's still quite late for a lot of people. But for people who used to sleep at 1am, 11.30pm is really early.

Hope it won't take me another 2 months to update my blog again.

Wedding Dinners.

I went to 2 wedding dinners these 2 months. Both brides were wearing cheongsam in their wedding dinners.

Maybe it's a trend to wear cheongsam in the Chinese wedding dinner nowadays. It's much easier for the brides to walk around compared to wear the long and heavy gowns. But I just think that it's not outstanding enough. You can't really recognize that she's the bride if you never see her or watch her wedding video or photos on the screen in the restaurants. I still prefer the normal dinner gown better than cheongsam.

Perhaps it's to early to talk about my own wedding gowns. But I don't mind to have a little bit of plans for my own wedding attires. I hardly see brides take initiative to drink liquor with their guests in their wedding dinner. As a result, some of them were forced to drink, and got drunk. I think I should the the bride who will walk around my guests' tables to toss with my guests, Psychologically, I think that might scare a little bit off them. :p So, in order to do that, I think I'll choose a gown which is outstanding enough on me, but easy for me to walk around.

Talk about wedding gown, Reminds me of my ex's bf's sister's wedding in a Chinese restaurant few years back, with 2 different couples' dinner in it at the same time. I was wearing a simple long black gown, which my ex bought for me and wanted me to wear that night, and end up a lot of people thought that I was one of the bride instead of the other one who was having the dinner since I was sitting in front of the restaurant helping out as a reception. That was really embarrassed.......

Mid Autumn Festival Celebration.

I didn't celebrate Mid Autumn Festival of Chinese with all my siblings since I came out KL for study and then work. This year, all of us arrange to meet to celebrate this 'reunion' festival at hometown.

We arranged the candles in Chinese words "Moon", and "Mid Autumn". All of us including my mum helped to arrange and lit the candles at the same time. My brother in charge of photo shooting while we were busy arranging the candles.


After playing with candles, we sat down and had our moon cakes, fruit, tea, and chit chatting. Too bad my dad left to Dubai 2 days earlier. Or else we could have celebrated it together. We miss you daddy......

We really had a nice gathering this year. Hope we can make it every year like this.


The Chinese words arrange with candles.


Simple food serving, but we only had a little bit of those food because dinner had too much food.


"Ling jiao"(Mandarin). One of the must-have item for the festival.


Small yam. A must-have item too.


Jelly mooncakes done by my sisters and mum.

National Day Eve Party.

There are a lot of farewell parties recently. My own colleagues, and Edward's colleagues as well.
In August itself, there are 3 of them.

Early August, we had a BBQ farewell party for J. Perhaps it's just an excuse for everyone to have BBQ since we all didn't have it for so long already. We basically finish 85% of the food, and finished all the liquor.


Juicy & yummy mutton


The 18 years Old Chivas Regal. We thought we couldn't finish it, but end up not enough for the night.

Another one we decided to make it for steamboat buffet at Sunway. Easier, and eat all you can. Simple enough, while can satisfy everyone's appetite. After that, everyone wanted to come to my house for drinking session. I bought beer and coke, Andy brought wine, J brought JD. Not everyone could drink much that night actually. So we didn't manage to finish the liquor this time. But we had really good and fun time. We played a little game to make everyone drink. We laughed so loud, and non stop, until everyone's jaws cramp and tears came out. After the game(actually the game stopped because 2 guys couldn't drink anymore), we had chit-chatting session. It's really been a while since I had such a good time with friends after the vacation with my girl friends 2 years ago I think.
We said goodbye at almost 5.30am. So end up...I slept till 2pm, and had a little hangover from the liquor. :P
